WE Made A "TOP" List...#8 To Be Exact! Thanks @SkinnyScoop

I've been doing this One Bored Mommy Site for 3 years now!  I've learned a lot!  Grown tremendously (both in readership and knowledge) and I am so proud that I am a site that you guys visit daily to learn about new products, to be encouraged, etc.

I was delighted to learn that I made the list for the 
"Skinny Scoops Top 25 Mommy Blogs of 2012"!


In fact...believe it or not...we are #8!!  WOOT WOOT!

Thanks Skinny Scoop and all of you for making this site a TOP MOMMY BLOGGING SITE!  
YOU GUYS ROCK!

Remember That IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I Told You I Had To Make In June? Want To Know What It Is??

My little guy has a sign for you first:
Our family is moving back to California!  
My husband accepted a new job as a Power Plant Manager at a plant in Temecula, California (super proud of him) and we are headed back to the West Coast!  WOOHOO!

We almost made it 4 years as "East Coasters", but I am not going to lie and tell you that we settled right into Connecticut.  This has, by far, been the hardest move our family has ever had!  It's been especially hard on me!  I tried my best to fit in, adjust and plant roots...but it just seems that I grow better on California soil than on Connecticut soil.  Absolutely no offence to anyone from the East Coast!


I am thrilled to be back "HOME" again!  Back where the sun shines more often, people can wear flip flops year round and I won't have to drive in the snow...anytime in the near future! 


Plus...LA is an all new Market for Mommy Bloggers that I can tap into (or so I hope).  Maybe some "NEW" TV appearances will be in my future in some super cool West Coast studios!  
That wouldn't be half bad, right?

Unfortunately, because our move is happening so close to BLOGHER 2012, I will not be headed back to NYC for the yearly EVENT!  I am bummed...but super excited to get settled into our new neighborhood, our new home and our new (but comfortable & familiar) environment in S. California!  HURRAY!  So hang in there!  There might be a lack of posting here and there...but that doesn't mean that I'm not thinking about you!  

Please keep our family in your prayers if you think of it!  Moving 2 adults, 4 small kids (11 and under) and 1 large dog, plus all our of our household goods & two cars CROSS COUNTRY (completely) is going to be an interesting and trying time for us all!  We've done it once...we can do it again!  
But your prayers are much appreciated!

God Bless you all and I can't wait to be updating this site shortly...from Sunny California!
